Indigenous-focused job advertising can help an employer make a genuine current opportunity visible in a setting
created with First Nations, Métis and Inuit job seekers in mind. It does not replace a fair hiring process, community relationships or the employer’s responsibility to provide accurate information.
AllFirstNationsJobs.ca is an independent job-advertising platform. Employers decide whom to interview and hire. The platform does not guarantee views, applications, interviews, hiring or acceptance for any external requirement.
The purpose is to make a current vacancy easier to discover while using respectful and inclusive language. The advertisement should welcome qualified applicants without stereotyping Indigenous peoples or implying that every First Nations, Métis or Inuit applicant has the same background, interests or experience.
Unless a lawful hiring program has specific eligibility rules, describe the opportunity as open to qualified applicants and explain any preference or designated-employment condition accurately.
A clear advertisement allows a person to decide whether the work, location, schedule and requirements are suitable before sharing personal information.
· Use the employer’s real operating name and an ordinary public job title.
· State the number of vacancies, employment type, wage or salary, expected hours and actual work location.
·
· Separate requirements from qualifications that are merely preferred or can be learned after hiring.
· Provide a closing date and a working application method.
· Explain remote, rural, rotational, travel, relocation or housing conditions when they apply.
An employer may welcome applications from First Nations, Métis and Inuit candidates while keeping the wording accurate and lawful. The invitation should be supported by the actual candidate experience rather than broad promises about culture, reconciliation or inclusion.
Example: We welcome applications from qualified candidates, including First Nations, Métis and Inuit applicants. Applicants may choose whether to self-identify. This statement does not limit consideration of other qualified applicants unless a lawful program states otherwise.
If an employer asks applicants to self-identify, explain why the information is requested, whether the response is voluntary, who can access it and how it will be used. Do not ask for a status card, treaty card or other identity document merely to view or apply for a public job.
The free option provides one job credit that must be activated within 14 days; the advertisement may remain public for up to 14 days. Paid packages provide credits with their own activation period, while each activated advertisement may remain public for no more than 60 days or until its stated closing date or closure by the employer, whichever comes first.
Credit validity does not permit an advertisement to stay public after the vacancy is filled, withdrawn or no longer current.
Review a live advertisement whenever duties, wage, location, hours, requirements or the application method changes. Close the advertisement promptly when recruitment ends. Editing must not create a false new posting date or extend an expired vacancy.
AllFirstNationsJobs.ca may review account and advertisement information under its published standards. A review is not an endorsement, certification or guarantee of the employer, workplace, offer or hiring outcome.
Can any Canadian employer use this platform?
A Canadian employer or an authorized representative may create an account to advertise a genuine current vacancy. The advertisement must identify the actual employer accurately.
No. Results depend on the role, wage, location, requirements, advertisement quality, labour market and employer process.
Yes, when the representative is authorized and clearly identifies the actual employer. The representative must not describe itself as the hiring employer or an approved platform partner unless that statement is accurate and authorized.
A free advertisement may remain public for up to 14 days. A paid advertisement may remain public for up to 60 days, or until its closing date or the employer closes it, whichever comes first.
No. The platform does not provide legal or immigration advice and does not certify compliance with an external law, authority or program.
Read Respectful Indigenous Hiring in Practice before publishing, and review the Job Standards and Safe Applications policy for the platform’s advertising expectations.
